Saran gaen prabhu tahu na tyaga

Chaupai 4, Under Doha 39 · Sundar Kand

Chaupai Text

सरन गएँ प्रभु ताहु न त्यागा। बिस्व द्रोह कृत अघ जेहि लागा॥ जासु नाम त्रय ताप नसावन। सोइ प्रभु प्रगट समुझु जियँ रावन॥ ४ ॥

Transliteration (IAST)

sarana gaeṃ prabhu tāhu na tyāgā। bisva droha kṛta agha jehi lāgā॥ jāsu nāma traya tāpa nasāvana। soi prabhu pragaṭa samujhu jiyaṃ rāvana॥ 4 ॥

Meaning

He never abandons one who has taken refuge in Him, even if that person has incurred the sin of betrayal against the whole world. The Lord whose name destroys the three afflictions is the same One who has appeared in manifest form. Understand this in your heart, O Ravana.
